1 out of 5 stars Completely drained my new battery   November 19, 2008
Ruebarb (Mass)
I have a 2007 Toyota FJ Cruiser, the factory outlets are off when the ignition is off. I have added my own outlets that are always on, like most American branded vehicles. I installed this device into my 12v outlet, left my FJ for 5 days (as usual) and it completely drained my new battery. The battery was so depleted that the dome lights and the power locks did not work; this battery was only 1 month old and working great. I don't know if this was a defective unit or an issue with my vehicle, the manufacture did not return my voice mail, nor did they answer the phone. I have returned this product and currently waiting for my refund from Amazon.


2 out of 5 stars Great product, new cars defeat it   September 19, 2008

The product itself is great. I own several. They used to work wonderfully, but my newer cars disconnect the lighter socket when they are not running. Therefore, the charger doesn't do anything. Yes, I could get the lighter socket rewired. The thing I loved about this was how easy it was. Taking my car in to be rewired to use it is not what I consider easy.

Great Product. Lousy new cars.



4 out of 5 stars Love my Sunforce 50022   September 8, 2008
L. Knudson (Indiana)
I have had this product a little over 1 month. I bought it for my RV which sits idle most of the time. Previously, when going out to start it after only a few days sitting, my husband would have to jump it with his car. The dealer suggested a trickle charger so I bought the Sunforce. Now, I no longer have to use my car to start my RV. One turn of the key and it starts right up. I wish someone had told me about trickle chargers a long time ago.


5 out of 5 stars Good product, good price.   August 30, 2008

I took this on my one month trip to the Colorado mountains and used it daily. It kept my batteries charged that I use to run my pop up, and they never did run down. After 10 days of using one I switched to another battery just because I wanted to, but the one I was using was still working fine. I wasn't using a lot of power, but at the same rate of use I've never gotten more than four days out of charged battery before without a solar charger. This works very well at a great price. I got it soaked several times with no problem. I'd recommend it highly.

In the past after a couple of weeks in the hot Florida sun the battery on my boat would be dead. Now that I have connected the Solar charger battery has a full charge when I get ready to go. No having to plan ahead and connect a battery charger over night and disconnect the next morning before leaving.
Works Great Not a bad price either.
